SJU Portal Targets

[tnice]

Just woke from a no-sleep night

I have questions

 

[L J S A]

I know they were covering themselves trying for a big in portal from West Coast, talented but there are a lot of suitors for him.

Heard Rick and staff signed up for crash course French lessons.

Sudden word around my neck of the woods today is that we have a decent shot too.

Big man from West Coast, Stanford portal center, lot of competition

Sure, but rough night. Just don't believe any answers.

A handful of connected West Coast guys I know are now saying there was a zoom already.

Not sure when but will try to dig for more info.

Some chatter he may return to Stanford, but we’ll see.

I still think we get Cliff

Believe it or not I heard they also contacted Peja's kid as well.

It ties directly to transfers. Did Rick really need this "extra time" to get quality players or does the walk and chew gum approach taken by Seton Hall with them in NIT finals now make them appear better to transfers/recruits? I don't have an answer, I see both sides here but was wondering thoughts on the impact on some of the more local players we might be after.

Where as I agree being in the NIT and even winning it would have very little impact on recruiting, the "we are going to skip to focus our efforts on the transfer portal" was weak. Especially since the NIT is almost over and we have not done anything in the portal yet. I have no problem waiting on transfers, there will be new players added every day. We will fill our roster. But, to skip out on a post season the way we did seems much more like 'sour grapes' than anything.

I just assumed Pitino had his 'least enjoyable time ever' coaching this team and wanted it ended as soon as possible, seniors be damned. Thanks for staying Joel!

Zach noted what we all expect that once the dead period is over, St John’s will be very busy.

At this point contact Carlyle too and bring in a triple package

I can picture the convo now. Mom I want to go to Seton Hall they just won the NIT. Kids mom calls assistant coaches my son is interested what are you offering him. Well Mrs xxx “ we can get him a years worth of free breakfasts at IHOP as long as he goes there before 7am. Mom “ but your morning practices end at 8am can he get it delivered. Asst Coach “ absolutely but you have to pay the uber eats delivery charge and tip “

Clearly you haven't been to South Orange, no IHOPs for miles. SHU is offering two for one's at Chris's Texas Weiner (chilidogs are an upcharge).

I’ll take Cliff or Williams, don’t really care who. Either would be a great start to our class at center.

I admit, I had not heard of most of these players until they were posted here. Only after that did I research stats, articles and video on these players. That said, they seem like fairly comparable.

Name has popped up but let’s see. With former teammate Glenn T leaving who knows.
